You have not convinced me, Rinslinger, that Huckabee's views about the age of the planet constitute a clear and present danger. ;-)

" So that ancient city they found in Egypt the other day that was 7,000 years old. What does he do with that if he's president, invade Egypt?"

No, he just no doubt would figure that they got the date wrong through a faulty procedure, that's all.

"What does he say about core samples of ice that have been recovered that are 10,000 years old."

Again, he figures that their method of determining the age of the ice samples is faulty. Big deal.

"At some point he'll be reduced to groveling around on his knees in the oval office, while mumbling to a god who isn't there. When he is, that's when Al-Queda will attack."

And how will Al-Queda know when that moment arrives? LOL! Al-Queda also believes in God, Rinslinger. Why do you not see them as being fatally crippled in their capabilities and effectiveness because of their belief? If it works for Huckabee, then why not Al-Queda? And what makes you think that people who believe in God are any less capable of dealing with any given emergency than people who don't? Most of the founding fathers of the USA believed in God, and it didn't prevent them from winning their revolution. Abraham Lincoln believed in God, and it didn't prevent him from leading the North to a victory in the Civil War. Gandhi believed in God and it didn't prevent him from leading a successful nonviolent revolution that freed India from foreign rule. Mother Teresa believed in God, and it didn't prevent her from saving many, many lives. Elizabeth the First believed in God, and it didn't prevent her from defeating the Spanish Empire (the superpower of that time).

Your kneejerk opinions regarding people who "believe in God"...(as if they were all identical to one another!)...are based on a false presumption, and they have no relevance as to whether someone can lead a country effectively or not in a time of crisis.

It's just as ridiculous as if you thought all atheists were child molesters or all Blacks were drug dealers or all women were stupid, weak, and hysterical.
